ALL flights!
including the rescue operation which is using an AIR plane
Imagine if this bug was to lie dormant in that plane somehow and infect all the passengers next time!

LIFE GOES ON but AGREE take all precautions "WITHIN REASON"
Even if half the world is destroyed the other half remaining need to survive.
I will pick on one point, you are simply working from incorrect information, as at today, the medical evidence is the virus infection rates and mortality rate is much higher than common flu strains. Naturally there is a lot of uncertainity and they will have more clarity in the coming weeks.
However no one informed on what is current information can conclude what you suggest.
If tourism and air travel badly affected maybe the government will support industries affected.
After all they seem to support others who reckon they are hurting ...like lobster people who can’t send product to China.
I am more interested in why our govt does not subscribe to a service like this that alerted users ; I believe pre Christmas

Delta, American and United suspending all China flights

According to CNBC a little while ago 31 airlines have now cancelled or curtailed direct flights to China.
AIR needs to do the right and decent thing for its staff and all New Zealanders and cancel all further direct flights to China with effect immediately. Not fearmongering, just good common sense risk management.
agree , its just inviting trouble. better safe than sorry
Poland’s national airline, LOT Polish Airlines, has suspended flights to China until Feb. 9, a deputy prime minister said on Twitter. More than a dozen people suspected of having the coronavirus are hospitalized in Poland, and over 500 people are being monitored by health services.
Iran has suspended all flights to China because of the coronavirus outbreak, according to Reuters. Iran’s semiofficial Tasnim news agency reported on Friday that all flights from China to the Islamic Republic have also been banned.

Imagine the headline -
New Zealand has 3,175 cases and 19 deaths due to the coronavirus breakout.
